rfhis invention vrelates to hearing holders and has for an object the provision ot a device ior holding hearing` and a mandrel in position to 'facilitate pouring Babbitt or other soit metal into the hearing.

Another object ol:l the invention is the provision ot a holder by means ot which each halt of the hearing malvloe separately poured so as to eliminate the necessity of cutting and tiling.;` the poured hearing, as now required where the entire hearing1 is poured in cylindrical form.

Another objectot the invention is the provision ot a holder wherein the hearing, man drel and mandrel plates aresecurely held in place without the use oi vise or clamp, the holding means permitting of the ready assernhling or separation oi' the parts in a man ner to reduce the amount oit time and labor necessary for the operation, yet acting to hold the parts in proper position while the hearing is heinfry poured.

`With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction. to

he hereinafter more :tullv described, illus` trated in the accompanyinef drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring* to the drawin in detail wherein like characters oii reference denote corre spending parts, the reference characters 10 and 11 indicate a pair ot magnets7 the magg net 10 being arranged within the magnet 11. These magnets are shown as of the permanent horseshoe type, hut electroinagnets. may he substituted it desired.

IThe magnets are arranged with their pole pieces fiush and are held in position hy means of a connecting plate or member 12 which is formed of suitable non-conducting material, such as will not he attracted by the magnets.

Ythe plate 12.

rlihe magnets are positioned upon a hase 13 which may he formed oit' a material similar to rllhe magnet 10 has its opposite pole pieces connected to the plate 12 hv means o1 screws 145 while a screw or holt 15 serves to connect the magnet 11 tothe plate 12. The ifaces of the pole pieces and the plate are flush.

Adapted to he engaged and held by the magnet 11 are plates 1G and 17 oit magnetic material, the former loeing` the bottom plate while the latter or top plate is spaced above the hottom plate so to provide for the reception ot one half oi? a hearing 18. The plates 16 and 17 are each provided with a seat 19 which receives the opposite ends olf the hearingas shown in Figure 2. while the plate 16 is provided wit-h an additional seat 20 arranged concentric with the seat 19. This seat E2() is adapt* ed to receive a core or mandrel Q1 which may also he of magnetic material and is so positioned that the outer sui-tace et the mandrel will he spaced. trom the inner tace of the hearing 18 so as to provide a space 22 to receive Babbitt or other sott metal. the inandrel plates V1d and 17 and magnets 10 and 11 act to hold the heari ,9; 18 and mandrel 21 properlyspaced, the l? i )i tt metal or hushingr will he eventiT distributed throughout the inner tace of the hearing. Each halt ot a hea ring; may thus he hushed or poured separately7 so that a semrcircular bushing; is provided without the necesitaT oit' cutting, and tiling a cylindrical bushing'.

The invention is susceptible oi various changes in its term,y proportions and minor details ci construction and the right is herein reserved to maire h changes as properly fall within the scope oi' the appended claims.

laving described the invention what is claimed i.

1. A hearing holder comprising' spaced plates adapted to receive a hearing between them, mandrel7 spaced from the inner tace of the hearing, and in ietic means to hold the plat 1'., mandrel ano hearing in position to facilitate pouring` a hearing.

il. A hearing; holder comprising spaced plates adapted to receive a hearinuf,` between thenni ins nclnded in the plates to provide a scat mi' the hearing. a mandrel., means to position the mandrel spaced 'from the inner tace oit the hearing and magnetic means to hold the l mandwl and hearing in position. to iiac :pouri a hearing'.

3. il. hearing holder comprising spaced platesadapted to receive a bearing between 'by the plates, mandrel and bearing to-liold the same in position While pouring a bearing. 4. A bearing holder comprising spaced plates adapted to receive a` bearing between them, means included in the plates to provide a seat for the bearing, a mandrel, means inl eluded in one of the plates to provide a seat for the mandrel and space the latter concentrically fromrthe inner face 'of the bearing, and magnetic means to hold the plates, manythe latter from the inner face drel and bearing in position to facilitate pourinf.,r a bearlng.

5. A bearing holder comprising a pair of horseshoe magnets arranged one within the other with their poles flush, spaced plates adapted to be attracted by and have their outer edges engaged with the poles of one of the magnets, seats provided in the opposite faces of the plates to receive one-half of a bearing, a mandrel adapted to be attracted by and span the poles of the other magnet, and a seat provided in one of the plates to receive one end ofthe mandrel to coneentrically space of the bearing. In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
